grant on april 19 1965, bringing about the end to the macon civil war. -- the american civil war. this town has a lot of history to its size. aday we would like to talk little bit about why appomattox courthouse is so famous. we would like to talk about some untold stories. the courthouse is the village complete with the tavern, stores, lawyers offices, and homes. the town was not more than 140 people in 1865. it's an unlikely place for two large military forces to meet. general lee's northern army of virginia and general grant's multiple army force of about 63,000 men. all told about 95,000 soldiers within a six mile radius of fear. unlikely because it's not where either army wanted to be, but it's where they ended up as fate would have it for general lee, his army was practically surrounded hereby general grants forces. sundaymorning of palm 1865, general around 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon would meet general grant over at the mclean house, one of the nicer upper-middle-class homes here in the village. that would be in the parlor of that home to discuss and agree on terms of the s

problems that artists still face we you mentioned little richard earlier little richard is from macon georgia from georgia and one of the things that he always talked about was how so many people were stealing his craft stealing his material and reuse again and he never got the credit that he ultimately deserved the same thing is kind of happening now but just not want to wider scale as it was in the past and a bow did lead to poor you know. our legacy dot com you quoted patricia hill columns and she said challenging power structures from the inside. working the cracks within the system requires learning to speak multiple languages of power convincingly for content creators is technology shifting that power in olden times a writer would go manuscript in hand to a book publisher now anybody can publish free instantly and online things can go viral on social media you're getting five thousand views on your website is the playing field more level now i think that technology has definitely offered more opportunities more access but is not necessarily a level playing field because we go ba

. >> so how much of these do you think you macon fat tuesday. >> we're weary.can't go any more then it is time to some. >> twenty-four hour process? >> started sunday night at 10:00. we haven't stopped. once the process starts, it just keeps ongoing. as long as we can keep going, it keeps going along with us. >> and your dad richard? >> my dad has been doing this. >> how long have you been doing this for, richard? >> how long? >> since 1955. >> 1955. is that right? >> yes. >> what's that, 66 years? >> so if i remember, if i remember correctly, you were born here? >> that's right. i was born upstairs in this building, yes. >> so this is in your blood? >> this is my life, yes. >> still doing it. still doing t and still doing it. >> love it, love it. >> this is great stuff. so the next round of dough in a comes out, i'll try my hands i didn't want to screw this up on live television because then they would make fun of me and i would never hear the end of it. >> so obviously you're knott on right now? >> i am on right now. >> so what's happening now? >> the dough i

i interviewed the parents of 15-year-old nyssa macon who was murdered by gang members. they were president trump's guest at the state of the union. i asked them what they thought of the democrats failure to stand when they were recognized. >> i thought it was very disrespectful for the simple fact that they were there, they were african-americans. if they not have the respect or to honor what just happened to our lives and to america's lives, regardless of how you feel about the president, show the respect. i would've shown respect if that was their loved one. >> laura: so classy and so moving. president trump was raised to address the brutality, victimizing law-abiding innocent america, he also highlighted forgotten victims. all liberal media types could do in response to all of this was to dismiss it as ms-13? that threat is overblown, its political height. her mom reacted to that sentiment with incredulity. >> i have no words. these are gang members that just decided to be a judge in a jury to take my daughter out like that. it's unacceptable. i don't want to happen

been inspired by a talk einstein gave to everett and others where he joked that, well, if a human can macon observation -- make an observation, why not a mouse? and everett thought deeply about this. and when he visited princeton, he brought this up, but boor wouldn't hear of it. he thought the theory works, why tamper with it. well, everett came up with an idea that instead of involving the observer when you take a measurement, the universe would split into one of the two possibilities, and the observer would split too. so there'd be two clones. one would be one version and the other would be in the other version. so to take the famous cat paradox, we have a cat in a box, and you take a measurement, and you open up the box, and one version the cat is alive and the other version the cat is dead. the universe would split, so one observer would be happy to see that the cat is alive, the other would be sad to see that the cat is dead, and they wouldn't know about each other. they wouldn't know about the replicas. now wheeler, his advice to everett was tone this down, this is never going to fly

. >> i'm sorry, july 4th, wow, 1968, when his helicopter was shot down in the macon delta region. >> right. >> tell me about how you learned about his death. >> oh, well, we -- i hadn't seen my parents in, gosh, four years, i guess. and, oh, this was an awful time. >> i'm sure. >> that was almost the first thing that came over wes's desk as chief of staff. so he had to wait until, you know, they acknowledged it. and then my older brother, who was class of '46, he was in washington. so we flew down to fayetteville where my parents were. and of course i hadn't seen my mother in, i guess, three or four years. and she was so happy to see me. and then i just shook my head. >> so she didn't know yet? >> no. >> until you got there? >> fno. >> and that must have been very difficult. >> yes. and we drove around the town, because carolyn, my brother's wife, lived there. and i didn't know where she lived. and my brother didn't either. i mean, we just had an idea. and we just -- i said to van, that we have to tell his wife before, you know, we tell our parents. because it seemed like the right t

of president johnson's protection at the time was a man named rufus youngblood from my hometown of macon. he and i became good friends. as a historical reminder, it was rufus who literally hurled vice-president john tson to the floorboard of limousine in dallas and placed his own body on top of lbj after the fatal shots were fired at president kennedy on that fateful november 22nd, 1963, in that presidential motorcade. my friendship with rufus was the beginning of a 53-year association with the united states secret service. i have not asked the secret service to do anything for me but i want you to know i have really developed enormous respect for this organization. after the kennedy assassination, rufus and then an agent named limb johns replaced president kennedy's detail on presidential protection, the agents that had protected president and mrs. kennedy. along with the then secret service director, james rawly, after whom a major secret service facility is named, those two agents successfully fought off a strong, determined effort by then fbi director, j. edgar hoover, to have the fb

that would be good news to president macon as it will support his ambitious eu reform programme. is going to the social democrats as well. what does that mean in the context of brexit? well, i think the difference between the two main parties here, the centre—right and the centre—left over brexit is minimal, virtually nonexistent. both sides have the same line and they support brussels. they have supported brussels every step of the way when it comes to negotiations. what it does mean is if these negotiations are officially announced, the deal is officially announced, the deal is officially announced today, if both parties sign of the deal and we end up with a government in germany in easter, it means there is a stable government in berlin, a lot of unity in the eu and that potentially would be good for britain when it comes to brexit because what would be, one worst—case scenario would be eight divided eu and an unstable germany. it would mean that germany and the eu in general will be in no position to be generous to britain when it comes to a trade deal. it's not a competition
